Reporters Without Borders condemns the arrest of journalist and blogger Kamran Mir Hazar, the editor of the kabulpress.org website, for the second time in just over a month. As he left his office today in the company of some colleagues, he was arrested by four men waiting outside. They identified themselves as members of the secret police and took him away, without saying why.

"Once again the authorities have targeted Hazar without giving any explanation," the press freedom organisation said. "His arrest is illegal and he must be released at once.
